We are a casting company founded in 1920 by Soichiro Asano, the founding father of Keihin Industrial Zone. Initially, our main focus was on producing cast components for ships, but during the war, we are designated as a military manufacturing facility. As such, we have overcome many challenges and difficulties to become what we are today. Over the years, we have supplied a wide range of cast components for the key industries of shipbuilding and steel as well as for various industrial machinery fields, and are proud to have contributed in some way to our nation's economic growth through our work.
In the late 1960s, we began producing cast components for the construction industry, and a great number of NIPPON CHUZO products can now be found in bridges, buildings and other structures.Our products have been used in Tokyo Skytree, Haneda Airport, Tokyo Monorail, and many more major projects across Japan.
More recently, we have been also focusing on the development of high-performance metal materials, such as our proprietary low thermal expansion materials and high strength materials.
As the company marks the centenary anniversary in 2020, which coincide with the Tokyo Olympics, we renew our commitment to flexibly and speedily serving domestic and international needs through improved technological skills and quality, thereby further benefiting the society.
We will mark our 100th anniversary in 2020—the same year as the Tokyo Olympic Games. Moving forward, we will endeavor to improve our unique technologies and product quality further while flexibly and promptly responding to all of society's needs both within Japan and beyond as we strive to be of use to people everywhere.
